The Innovative Leader in Aquatic Restoration and Ecosystem
Protection Marks 10 Years
by Reflecting on Impact of Efforts
WINTER
GARDEN, Fla., July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sea
& Shoreline, Florida's leading
aquatic restoration company, proudly celebrates its 10th
anniversary this month. Over the past decade, Sea & Shoreline
has emerged as a leader in the field, delivering remarkable
ecological and economic impacts through innovative solutions and
scientifically validated results.
By the Numbers: A Decade of Impact
In the last 10 years, Sea & Shoreline has completed 153
projects, transforming aquatic environments across Florida and North
Carolina. Broken down by the numbers, these comprehensive
habitat restoration, rehabilitation, protection, and stabilization
efforts, as well as some of the resulting environmental impacts,
include:
- Seagrass/SAV Plants Planted: 1,608,035 – Each
only a few inches tall and wide, the mass amount of seagrass and
other submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) plants which Sea &
Shoreline has planted would fill 23 Olympic-sized swimming pools,
helping to clean and oxygenate critical habitats.
- Cages Installed: 14,850 – Each one
protecting young plants and promoting growth, the grand number of
herbivory protection devices would cover the length of 140 Eiffel
Towers laid end-to-end.
- Pounds of Muck Removed: 717,720,000 – Equivalent
to the weight of nearly 2,400 fully loaded Boeing 747s, the removal
of the detrital material has allowed us to build healthy
foundations for plant growth and has drastically improved water
clarity and quality.
- Spring Vents Opened: Over 900 – Imagine
opening one natural water source every day for nearly three years!
In many cases, these springs were previously clogged and
unidentified, bringing new life and fresh water to rejuvenate
multiple ecosystems and support biodiversity.
- Total Acres Planted: 274 – Equivalent to an area
larger than 200 American football fields, the acres of SAV/seagrass
planted has grown far beyond its original space, as nature helps to
spread this plentiful vegetation often by fourfold.
- Partnerships/Clients: 87 – The collaborative
reach of the Sea & Shoreline team has been akin to partnering
with a new client or partner every month for over seven years,
fostering widespread environmental stewardship. Our partners
include government entities, state agencies, water management
districts, non-profit organizations, and more.
- Counties in FL and NC Served: 33 – Nearly half of
all counties in Florida have
trusted Sea & Shoreline with their aquatic restoration
projects.
- Innovative Solutions: 20 – Comparable to
launching one new groundbreaking technology every six months, Sea
& Shoreline's continuous drive for pioneering new technologies
and restoration methods has allowed the company to guarantee the
success of our projects and address multi-habitat issues for
synergistic benefits.
